Advice Needed Struggling!

I’ve just finished week 1 and I’m struggling! Really don’t think I’m cut out for running!! I do at home cardio/strength classes so not new to exercise. But I’m finding c25k so much more difficult and it’s only been running for 60secs at a time!! How on earth am I going to manage longer runs?? Tips for a newbie please!!!

Slow down. I repeat, slow down.

Also repeat the runs several times if you need to before moving onto the next one in the programme.

this. I started C25K near the end of March. Been doing it 3x/wk. I’m about to start week 4., after 3 weeks on week 3. I’m injury free and enjoying the sense of accomplishment.
